Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Chapter 227 Nine Realm Tree

Zang Shanhai is an old adventurer who is nearly a hundred years old
He is considered the strongest adventurer in Qingshan City. He broke through to the fourth level twenty-five years ago. He is also the founder and leader of the Shanhai Adventure Group, one of the largest adventure groups in the area.

He is an absolute leader among the adventurers in Qingshan City. Even though he is also a fourth-level adventurer, Wanshan Guhong is much inferior to him in terms of reputation, fame and influence.

This big boss who is admired by everyone also has many troubles!
First of all, as an old adventurer who is nearly a hundred years old, even if he has not completely retired, he is no longer able to continue adventuring, and it is extremely difficult for him to make further progress in his cultivation.

This is normal.

It is the fate of every old adventurer.

However, what really worries Zang Shanhai is that the mountain and sea adventure team he founded with great difficulty is facing a situation of no successors.

Because of the same batch of adventurers.

At least no less than seventy or eighty years old.

They have retired one after another and no longer participate in adventures.

There are fewer and fewer managers in the upper echelons of adventure groups who have enough prestige to command the support of the people.

Zang Shanhai has devoted decades of hard work to this adventure group, and it also involves the huge interests of countless people in Qingshan City, including himself. Naturally, he has to hand it over to a trustworthy and most reliable successor.

In fact, the lifespan of a fourth-level adventurer can reach 180 years.

This means that Zang Shanhai still has another seventy or eighty years to live. He can completely step back and let his children take over. He can spend decades training them behind the scenes to ensure that the adventure team can have a smooth transition and grow.

However, although Zang Shanhai had a relationship when he was young, he not only had a beloved wife, but also a lovely and intelligent son. However, his wife and child both died in an accident.

The main world needs to eat, drink, defecate and urinate, and will also experience birth, aging, sickness and death.

So there is nothing strange about this in itself.

This incident was a lifelong pain for Zang Shanhai. From then on, he focused on adventure and career, and never remarried or had children, so it was unlikely that he would train his own offspring to take over his business.

Since the family inheritance route is not very realistic.

Zang Shanhai then considered finding an adventurer who was outstanding and powerful enough for the adventure team.

In this way, they can ensure that the adventure group continues to grow in a win-win cooperation manner, and even if they retreat to the second line, they can ensure the competitiveness of the adventure group and their own interests.

The candidate has been chosen.

It was the fourth-level adventurer Wanshan Guhong.

The youngest fourth-level adventure master in Qingshan City!
In fact, before this, Wanshan Guhong had a close relationship with the Shanhai Adventure Group. He had always served as an elder in the Shanhai Adventure Group and was one of Zang Shanhai's designated successors.

Never thought.

Wanshan Guhong was in his prime and his mentality was problematic.

He then withdrew from all forces and announced that he would enter a state of seclusion.

Zang Shanhai knew very well how important this moment was to Wanshan Guhong, so he did not disturb him during the process, but waited patiently, and this wait lasted for two months.

What happened later.

No need to say more.

Wanshan Guhong suddenly came out of seclusion and entered an underground city that he had never heard of before.

The most outrageous thing is that Wanshan Guhong stayed in the dungeon for a short period of time, and then announced that he would give up the dungeon he was originally bound to and choose to join this little-known miracle city.

This is simply incomprehensible!
After all, Miracle City is only a second-level dungeon.

The underground city that Wanshan Guhong originally contracted was Sunset City, the fifth-level underground city with the largest scale, the longest history, and undoubtedly the most powerful overall history in Qingshan City.

The Chaos World Headquarters of the Shanhai Adventure Group is also located in this city.

Without any warning, Wanshan Guhong suddenly left Sunset City and joined a small underground city, which directly disrupted all of Zang Shanhai's plans and arrangements.

How could he not be depressed?
At the same time, extremely confused!
Wanshan Guhong is not an impulsive, careless or reckless person.

There must be a reason why he joined an underground city so decisively. At the same time, the deeds, stories, various rumors and specialties of Miracle Territory became popular in Qingshan City, making it very popular.

Nowadays, it is packed every day and has become the most talked-about place in Qingshan City recently.

Powerful people and representatives from all sides noticed the existence of this underground city.

Zang Shanhai couldn't sit still anymore.

The rumors about the secret realm of Miracle City are too exaggerated.

He had been adventuring for decades and had never heard of such a secret realm. As the saying goes, seeing is believing, hearing is believing. Zang Shanhai decided to go into the Miracle City himself to find out what was going on. More importantly, he wanted to find Wanshan Guhong to understand the situation clearly!
There is still half an hour before the underground city opens.

Zang Shanhai sat in the lobby of the adventure group's headquarters.

Judging from his appearance, he is an old man of about seventy years old. Although his hair is completely gray, his eyes are as sharp as an eagle. Even if he is just sitting still, people can feel his strong aura and background.

At this time, a core member of the adventure team stepped forward and said, "Captain, we spent a lot of effort and finally bought the Miracle City admission ticket on the black market."

"very good!"

"Miracle City is so popular, the price of this ticket has been hyped up to 70,000 soul sands!"

7 soul sands?
This is 700 soul crystals!

Although it’s nothing to Zang Shanhai.

But it is the income of a first-level adventurer for a hundred months!

It's just a chance to enter the city, but some people are willing to pay such a huge price. The popularity of this Miracle City is too outrageous!

"Humph, I'd like to see what this underground city is made of!"

Zang Shanhai calculated the time and found that the dungeon would be opening soon. Without hesitation, he used the admission ticket. This way, he could enter the dungeon without queuing.

Of course, before officially entering the dungeon.

Zang Shanhai also made some special preparations.

After all, Zang Shanhai's influence in Qingshan City is too great. If he appears openly in Miracle City and is recognized, it will definitely cause a bigger sensation in Qingshan City. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he must keep a low profile.

He wore a camouflage mask.

This mask can change a person's appearance and breath.

With this disguise, he can enter Miracle City in a low-key manner to investigate in person without worrying about attracting too much attention or causing other negative effects.

Nineteen eight...three two one!

The moment the dungeon world is officially opened.

Zang Shanhai entered the Dark City of Miracle Territory through the teleportation point.

The adventurer town of Dark City, which is linked to Qingshan City, has a much smaller adventurer reception capacity than Miracle City, but it still has a population of nearly 3,000. This number of adventurers is not small in any third-level territory.

But even if there are so many places.

This dungeon is still full within seconds of opening.

Although Zang Shanhai had long known that Miracle City was extremely popular, otherwise the entrance ticket would not have been sold at such a high price, he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.

After all, as far as he knew, Undercity was not the main city of the territory!

But now is not the time to be shocked.

Business matters!

Zang Shanhai immediately asked the adventurers around him about the whereabouts of Wanshan Guhong.

Qingshan, the warm-hearted man, said, "Old senior, you want to find the boss Wanshan Guhong? Then you'll probably have to go to Miracle City. Several bosses have already settled there."

Miracle City?

Zang Shanhai wants to go to Miracle City.

But the transmission to Miracle Territory is not free.

To teleport from Undercity to Miracle City, 100 contribution points are required for the first activation, and each subsequent teleportation requires a basic fee of 5 contribution points. This is not a small number for adventurers, and Zang Shanhai will not be able to go to Miracle City in the short term.

"Hahaha!"

"The city is finally open!"

“This is the happiest moment of my day!”

"Me too!"

"Frenzy looking for a team! Fight zombies together!"

"I've already reached the Palace of Origin in Ashina Country. If I work harder in the next few days, I'll be able to clear it!"

"Awesome! I'm stuck with the Phantom Monk and the Lion Ape. They're just too difficult to defeat, so I'm going to go straight to the Sui and Tang Dynasties!"

"I can't beat Ashina either, so I can't enter my favorite Sui and Tang Dynasty. But I heard that a new secret realm was added to the Ten Kingdoms today. I think we should try our luck in the new secret realm!"

“A must-try in the new secret realm!”

"..."

Zang Shanhai followed the crowd into the city and saw that although Dark City was not the core main city, it was well-equipped and well-built, almost as good as the core main cities of most senior second-level or even third-level territories.

of course.

This is nothing.

The biggest difference between Miracle Territory and other dungeons, and the biggest impression it left on him, was the state of the adventurers. Every adventurer here was filled from head to toe with ecstasy, excitement, happiness, and anticipation.

Adventures spanned decades.

There has never been such an atmosphere in any dungeon.

So, I have to admit that Miracle City is something!
Zang Shanhai couldn't go to the main city of Miracle at the moment, so he simply followed the other adventurers into the hall. Then he found a secret crystal and decided to see for himself whether the secret realm of Miracle City was as magical as the rumors said.

No waiting to activate the crystal.

The hall was filled with the adventurers' shouts of surprise.

"New secret realm!"

“There really is a new secret realm!”

"Everyone, check out the Chronicles of the Ten Kingdoms! The third kingdom has appeared!"

"Hahaha! That's great! Lord Qi Ji is as awesome as ever!"

"There's no entry threshold to this country. Just like the Ashina chapter, you can enter at any time. And as long as you progress past halfway through the main storyline, you can activate access to the Sui and Tang chapters!"

"..."

Zang Shanhai activated the secret realm crystal and two secret realms appeared before his eyes.

They are: Doomsday Frenzy and Exotic Ten Kingdoms.

Among them, Doomsday Frenzy is the secret realm of the Miracle Core Main City, so it will appear in the cores of all main cities, and the Ten Kingdoms of the Exotic Realm is a secret realm created through the Undercity Core.

Other main secret realms and secondary secret realms.

It will not appear in the core of Undercity.

Adventurers can only choose one of the two secret realms.

If you want to experience more secrets of Miracle City, you can only go to the main city.

Zang Shanhai chose the secret realm of the Ten Kingdoms that has always been mentioned. When the epic BGM sounded, he appeared on the shocking login interface.

Such a huge exotic world.

There are vast continents and oceans.

There are currently only three places you can enter.

They are: Sui and Tang Dynasty Chapter, Ashina Chapter, and Nine Realms Tree Chapter.

The Nine Realms Tree chapter is also known as the "Yegdrashu chapter". This is the third chapter of the Miracle City's Otherworldly Ten Kingdoms Chronicles secret realm, and it is also the latest secret realm chapter based on God of War 4.

The map of the Ten Kingdoms of Another World is adapted from a map of Earth. Of course, although it has a prototype, it has been heavily modified, so it differs greatly from the original.

First of all, in terms of area, the Ten Kingdoms of the Alien Land is more than ten times the size of the Earth. Secondly, many terrains have been extensively modified based on actual conditions.

The Nine Realms Tree is located in the Nordic region. From the appearance, it is a bit similar to the sea Jianmu in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is a super giant tree that looks like an ash tree, and it corresponds to the world tree in Norse mythology.

The other name of the Nordic world tree is "Yggdrasil".

In Qi Ji's settings.

Jiujie Tree is a place similar to Xianshan Island.

This is a secret realm independent of the secular world, in which nine worlds were born: Asgard, Helheim, Niflheim, Muspelheim, Jotunheim, Alfheim, Svartalfheim, and Vanaheim.

It is very difficult for the small world to travel to the outside big world.

However, the small worlds can influence each other and communicate directly.

Various kingdoms and races formed in these small worlds.

Among them, Asgard, the kingdom of the Aesir, is also the strongest of the nine realms, so it has a dominant position over the nine realms.

Of course, the so-called gods in Miracle City.

They are just a group of special extraordinary practitioners.

The other eight worlds also formed different kingdoms and were inhabited by different races. Overall, the worldview was quite rich.

The "Nine Realms Tree Chapter" of Miracle City is different from the original game.

Among the nine small worlds born in the Nine Realm Tree of Miracle City, most of the worlds have detailed towns and kingdoms, each with its own culture, language, history and customs.

Adventurers can conduct more in-depth exploration of these places when performing side quests, making the Nine Realm Tree chapter look more vivid and realistic.

of course.

for these.

The adventurers don't know it now.

Even though the city had just opened, hundreds of adventurers had already officially landed in the Nine Realms Tree World.

Zang Shanhai, the strongest adventurer in Qingshan City, is one of them. Although he is very interested in the contents of the two main secret realms of Undercity, he heard that the Nine Realms Tree was just opened today and everyone is on the same starting line, so he naturally took a closer look.

Adventurers are naturally fond of new things and dislike old things.

As the boss among bosses, Zang Shanhai is unwilling to fall behind others, so compared to the secret realms that have been completed one by one, he will obviously choose new secret realms that have not been conquered or understood by anyone without hesitation.

"Now let me see what's so special about Miracle City!"

Zang Shanhai chose the Nine Realms Tree chapter of the History of the Ten Kingdoms.

When his eyes went dark and he entered the secret realm, the first thing he saw was a shocking scene.

This is the top of Mount Olympus!
The thousands of feet high mountains offer a wide view in all directions, with thousands of miles of land in sight, while the sky is covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder.

On the top of the sacred mountain, there is a Greek-style temple composed of twelve giant pillars, and at this moment, a thrilling battle is taking place inside the temple.

Both sides of the battle.

Each of these bald strong men with gray skin, gray tattoos all over their bodies and a scar on their right eye is like evil spirits crawling out from the depths of hell. Every move they make is filled with a violent will to destroy everything and brutal murderous intent.

One is a dignified middle-aged man. He is tall with a golden beard and long hair. His eyes shine with divine light and he holds lightning in his hands, giving people a sense of sacredness and inviolability.

Bang bang bang!
Every time the two powerful men clashed, the energy generated leaked out from the temple, causing the entire sky and even the earth to be impacted and shaken.

"This is……"

Zang Shanhai and all the adventurers who were paying attention to the new secret realm were stunned. They didn't expect such an opening blow right at the start!
This is the opening plot of the Nine Realms Tree chapter.

In fact, the original version of "God of War 4" did not have an opening animation.

In order to increase the hype, suspense, enhance the popularity of the characters, and lay the groundwork, Qi Ji deliberately adapted the scene in "God of War 3" where Kratos kills Zeus in the final act, turning it into the opening plot of the Nine Realms Tree chapter.

"So strong!"

"These two powerful men..."

"I'm afraid they all have the strength of the fourth level!"

"And... it's definitely not an ordinary fourth-level one!"

This was the judgment made by people of higher rank and strength such as Visaros, Artus, Nancylia, Zang Shanhai, and Ran Tianyun after seeing the opening battle performance of the Nine Realms Tree chapter.

indeed.

Kratos at this stage definitely has strength above level four, and may even have reached the strength of level four five-star. His comprehensive foundation is even enough to fight against most level five beings.

How could it be possible to slaughter all the Greek gods without such strength?

As for Kratos' opponent, the God King Zeus, as the strongest of the Olympian gods, he certainly has top-level strength. This is definitely an eye-opening and exciting battle.

The shock doesn’t end there!

When the two sides were fighting fiercely for dozens of seconds.

An even more unexpected scene occurred. A super giant with a height of over ten thousand meters suddenly appeared around the sacred mountain. His huge head directly covered the sky and the temple.

It’s Mother Goddess Gaia!
The giant roared and grabbed the huge temple with both hands, pulling it down from the mountain. Then he was about to kill Kratos and Zeus at the same time.

Seeing this, the two immediately left the temple and jumped down from a height of ten thousand meters. They continued to fight fiercely in the air while avoiding the attacks of the giants.

After a few rounds.

They both fell into a hole in the giant's collarbone.

Finally, he entered the giant's body and continued fighting all the way to the heart. Finally, Kratos seized the opportunity to pull out the sword of Olympus, piercing Zeus and Gaia's heart at the same time.

Zeus' soul left his body and tried to counterattack.

However, Kratos' eyes burst into blue and white divine light, and he blasted the mountain back into a mortal body in one fell swoop. Then he beat it directly with his fists until the whole mountain was broken, finally destroying this powerful God King completely.

The battle is over!
Kratos completed the ultimate god-killing!

At this time, Athena appeared in ghost form.

She asked Kratos to hand over the power of hope in his body to reshape the world full of holes and suffering.

Kratos refused to give his power to the other party, but made a surprising move. He raised the sword of Olympus and pierced his body.

A blue-white energy instantly shot up into the sky. The power was so strong that it not only dispersed the dark clouds in the sky, but also turned into millions of tiny raindrops that sprinkled on the broken world.

The ghost Athena was obviously very angry. She pulled out the sword from Kratos and left without looking back.

Soon after.

When everything returns to calm.

The scene returns to the place where Kratos committed suicide.

Everyone saw a large pool of blood on the ground.

But the strong man Kratos, who was supposed to die in this place, had already disappeared at this moment.

that's all.

This is the general opening plot of the Nine Realms Tree chapter.

This plot is performed in just a few minutes, and most of the characters' dialogues are deliberately hidden, with only scenes and visual expressions used to narrate the story.

Because adventurers don't know Greek mythology, the legends of the Olympian gods, and have not experienced the story of the God of War trilogy, they will definitely be confused when watching it.

This is the effect Qi Ji wants.

Nancy Liya was shocked and said, "Everyone involved in this duel is so strong. That bald man and the old man who can control lightning are very likely top-level masters at the peak of the fourth level!"

Vesaros: "Yes, even I may not be a match for these two. Their strength is far beyond that of most fourth-level warriors and can compete with some fifth-level warriors."

Ran Tianyun: "That sudden appearance in the plot might be a Tier 5 unit... Although it looks very fragile and scarred, it could be very powerful in its prime!"

Higanbana: "Well, you are worthy of being Lord Qi. You really gave us a big wave at the beginning!"

Feng Zhongmian: "What I'm curious about now is, the bald guy clearly won the battle, why did he choose to commit suicide?"

"Yes!"

"Such a formidable individual, even in the entire world of the Ten Kingdoms, is probably one of the strongest, even stronger than Yuwen Tuo without the Xuanyuan Sword."

"He actually chose to end his own life?"

"..."

The adventurers in Miracle City had long been accustomed to Qi Ji's ability to put on a show, but even so, they were still excited to see this thrilling duel and battle performance.

at the same time.

More eager to know.

What is the inside story of this story?

Even the adventurers who had experienced many shocks in Miracle City were still so shocked. One can imagine how shocked the adventurers who were encountering Miracle City for the first time were at this moment.

When Zang Shanhai saw the three-way duel between Kratos, Zeus, the King of Gods, and Gaiyin, the Mother Goddess, he fell into a state of complete collapse of his three views.

As a top adventurer.

Of course, he deeply realized that it was impossible for anything to appear out of thin air in the secret realm. All items, equipment, characters, scenes, etc. were all created by the lord.

In other words.

The peak Kratos who kills all gods and enemies, the king of gods Zeus, the mother goddess Gaia, and the powerful sword of Olympus, etc., all these things must exist!
The gimmicks of peak Kratos, King of Gods Zeus, and Mother Goddess Gaia alone are enough to attract adventurers to this secret realm.

After all, they are at least fourth-level units, and not just ordinary fourth-level units, but the most top-notch, most powerful, and rarest fourth-level units.

There wasn't any adventurer.

Can resist getting their power!
Even Zang Shanhai, the strongest adventurer in Qingshan City, is no exception. After experiencing this opening plot, everyone is more curious about how the story will unfold next.

That's when.

The story about Kratos officially begins.

Zang Shanhai found himself in a sturdy body, and what surprised and even delighted him was that this body was none other than the bald macho man in the opening scene!

"My name is Kratos... I was once a Spartan..."

"Because of some unpleasant experiences... I left Greece, ruled by Mount Olympus... and came to this foreign land composed of multiple kingdoms in the Nine Realms."

Various information quickly appeared in Zang Shanhai's mind.

Although the character he played was the bald macho man who appeared in the opening scene, this character seemed to be old now, and his strength was far from that of his peak period.

Kratos at this moment.

Has the strength of level three and four stars.

This is certainly not weak, but it is a significant decline compared to the opening plot. After all, Kratos was very young at the time, and his body was full of various powerful forces.

About the past?

Although Zang Shanhai tried hard to retrieve his memories.

But he could only recall some fragmented memory fragments. Most of the memories had been sealed off by Kratos himself, and even adventurers could not explore them directly.

Even so, adventurers can see from these memory fragments how fierce and legendary this guy named Kratos was!

I have the opportunity to play such a tough guy.

What a blessing for adventurers!
